Secret room, imprisonment, young girl, cage...
When these words are put together, it looks like it's heading towards something that won't pass censorship.
But Kevin stated that currently, these words have absolutely nothing to do with those suggestive, enchanting scenes!
After all, looking at the fierce-faced girl in the large cage, who looked like she wanted to swallow them both alive, it was impossible to associate her with those messy scenes.
Kevin stood in front of the cage, a headache throbbing.
He didn't want to treat Kimiko this way, but if he didn't, Kimiko would act like a wild beast, attacking anyone she saw!
Starlight had a lot to say about this.
"Are you okay?"
Looking at Starlight, who had changed into a new set of clothes, Kevin asked with concern.
Starlight shook her head, extended her arm, and looked at it:
"Her strength is great, but she can't break through my defense... It's just a shame about the clothes I was wearing before."
"That's why I said to wait until she woke up and get her consent before doing something like bathing her. Now look, my bathroom is ruined too..."
Kevin couldn't help but complain.
This is how the incident started.
After bringing Kimiko back, Starlight thought that Kimiko was too dirty, and her clothes had been worn for who knows how long, giving off a strange odor. For a girl like Starlight, she couldn't tolerate it at all.
So, Starlight wanted to take advantage of Kimiko still being unconscious to help her clean her body and change into clean clothes.
Kevin, meanwhile, took the opportunity to find someone to buy a large dog cage.
And it was a very sturdy one.
When Kevin returned after buying the cage and was assembling it, he heard clanging sounds coming from the bathroom.
It turned out that Starlight and the awakened Kimiko were fighting again.
Moreover, because Starlight was cleaning Kimiko's body, Kimiko wasn't wearing any clothes...
And during the fight, Starlight's clothes were also torn by Kimiko, giving Kevin quite an eyeful...
Ahem, no, Kevin stated that he was a gentleman, and he actually didn't see anything, really.
It just felt like Starlight's ability was so pure... No, Starlight's ability was so great... Uh, that's not right either...
Damn it, I can't forget it!
Anyway, after a struggle, Starlight subdued Kimiko alone, and Kevin quickly set up a simple cage and locked Kimiko inside.
Actually, with such a small cage, if Kimiko tried hard, it wasn't impossible for her to escape.
But perhaps because she had been locked up for too long before, or perhaps Kimiko knew that Starlight and Kevin were not ordinary people, after being put into the cage, she just stared at the two of them ferociously, but didn't try to break out of the cage.
Bringing up the bathroom, Starlight seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Kevin, but quickly averted her gaze, not mentioning her accidental exposure earlier, but instead asked:
"What do we do now? She doesn't seem to be able to speak... And I don't know what country she's from."
"Wait, I'll try to find a translation app first."
Kevin picked up his phone and searched for a translation app.
Of course, he knew what country Kimiko was from, but he still had to put on an act in front of Starlight.
Therefore, after trying two or three languages, Kevin finally found a language that Kimiko could understand.
"Hello, we mean no harm (Japanese)."
The translation app on the phone gave this sentence. Kimiko seemed to understand it, and the fierce expression on her face lessened.
"She seems to have understood!"
Starlight said in surprise.
Kevin also looked relieved and continued to converse with Kimiko using the translation app:
"We saved you, do you remember?"
"..."
Kimiko didn't speak. She suffered from selective mutism and couldn't speak. She usually communicated with people using her self-created sign language. Asking her to speak now was indeed difficult for her.
Kevin knew this, so he took out a spare phone, downloaded a Japanese input method and translation app on it, and handed it to Kimiko.
"You can't speak, right? Can you write or use a phone? Try to communicate with us using this?"
Kevin extended the phone into the cage. Kimiko stared at the phone warily, then looked at the benevolent Kevin and Starlight, and tentatively touched the phone with her hand.
When her fingertip touched the phone, she slightly recoiled, then quickly snatched the phone into her hand at an extremely fast speed, pulling her body back and leaning against the corner of the cage.
Kevin withdrew his hand, spreading his five fingers wide, indicating that he had done nothing.
Only then did Kimiko, half wary and half curious, open the phone and slide her fingers across it.
About five minutes passed, and Kimiko placed the phone on the ground outside the cage.
Starlight quickly picked it up and, seeing the dense text on it, began to translate it using the translation app.
However, the translation from the software lost a lot of accuracy. The word order in many places was very abnormal, and the meanings of some words were unknown.
But some useful information could still be roughly discerned from it.
For example, the girl's name and why she came here.
According to the girl, her name was Kimiko. She had lived with her younger brother since childhood, and later, for some reason, she was kidnapped abroad to join some organization.
That organization didn't seem to be a good one. Kimiko mentioned the word 'escape,' saying that she wanted to escape with her brother, which was why she contacted human traffickers, wanting to return to her own country.
As a result... she was brought here, injected with something strange, and even separated from her brother.
Now, all Kimiko wanted was to find her brother. She was worried that her brother had also met with an accident.
After organizing the information Kimiko conveyed, it took the two of them more than half an hour. Starlight, who understood Kimiko's experience, pondered the compiled information.
After a while, she posed a crucial question to Kevin:
"A Supe... How did they kidnap her here?"
It must be said that Starlight was indeed very astute to notice this.
That's right, unless they used underhanded tactics, ordinary fully-armed people really couldn't defeat a Supe like Kimiko, whose self-healing and physical abilities were extremely powerful.
It could be seen from the group of guys guarding Kimiko that even with weapons in hand, once Kimiko was released, these people would probably be slaughtered by Kimiko.
So where did they get the courage to attack a Supe?
This was probably also the question that puzzled Starlight.
Starlight felt there were suspicious points here, but Kevin knew that Kimiko was not a Supe before coming here.
It was Compound V that gave her superpowers.
He couldn't tell Starlight this point.
"...You ask me, who am I to ask?"
Kevin directly played dumb and interrupted what Starlight was about to say, stating:
"Alright, it's getting late. You should go to sleep quickly. I need to sleep too."
Kevin said while yawning and walked towards the bedroom.
Because he had been busy with Kimiko's matter all night, it was almost dawn now. If he didn't sleep and rest at this time, then he really wouldn't be able to sleep later.
Kimiko's matter could be dealt with later. As long as A-Train didn't find her, or Kimiko didn't run around, generally there wouldn't be any problems.
By the way, before going to sleep, Kevin habitually clicked on the skill tree to check his skill points.
Saving Kimiko seemed to be a major change in the plot, and Kevin's skill points increased by two.
His current skill points were three.
